i don't normally wear makeup at all but my friend had me put some on and i looked really nice. What should i use if i want to wear a bearly noticeable amount??? I have white skin and long brown hair, and my eyes are greeny-gray with like a brown-amber in the middle.Makeup help!!!?
You seem to have similar coloring to me!
If you want a more subtle effect, get brown mascara. It'll emphazise your lashes but not look like you're wearing a neon sign pointing to your face screaming ';MAKEUP! MAKEUP!'; hehe. I would suggest a waterproof so if you sweat, cry, or are in a humid environment, you won't get the dreaded raccoon eye effect! Cover Girl makes one in an orange tube with a blue neck (the blue indicates waterproof, a silver one is not waterproof) called Lash Blast that I swear by.
You can also get some brown eyeliner, NYC makes one called Soft Sable that looks great with eye colors like yours and it's available at WalMart and such for, like, $2. Another color to try would be a charcoal grey. If you can find a soft kohl pencil, all the better. Soft kohl refers to the texture of the pencil, and this particular kind goes on easier and not painfully (some hard eye pencils hurt pretty bad to apply), and have nice staying power. What's great about a soft liner, also, is that if you immediately afterward press some colored powder into it, you can create your own eyeliner color from eyeshadow! It'll have a darker color from the pencil beneath, so it'll be complimentary if you use the same color on your lids.
Now, for those lids... I would suggest going with a plum shade. It'll really make your eyes pop but you can apply it with a light enough touch to make it subtle. You could also try playing with some bronze colors or liner because there's this trick I learned: in good bright light, look into a mirror very closely. Note which shades you see and use those colors on your eyes. It'll really bring them out. The other way to use your eye color to choose your shade is to use a color wheel: colors opposite each other really make the eys pop.
You can also use the color elimnation technique: If you want to bring out the grey in your grey-green eyes, use green color. Vice versae: if you want to bring out the green color, use grey makeup. This make the eye go to your makeup and see, for instance, the green makeup, which is stronger than the green in your eyes and the visual effect is that your eyes look more grey. Kinda cool how it works :-) I have brown-green eyes and wear brown and my eyes look more emerald, for instance.
Since you're going for more of a subtle look, you could look into bronzer rather than blush. Find a light one, and get a big fluffy brush. Bend over at the waist and let your body hang down for about 30 seconds. When you stand back up, notice where your face has flushed and apply it there. This will give you a very natural, flushed and sun-kissed look instead of a babydoll or catwalk model cheek.
Also, when it comes to your eyes, I would look for an eyeshadow base. What this does is counteracts the oils on your lids. The oils are what cause the creasing of eye makeup that looks tacky and screams ';well I WAS wearing makeup!';. But if you have base (you can also use oil-free foundation if you use it, or a hard-potted eyeshadow like Jane brand in a nude) it won't crease and will stay on all day, thus looking more natural.
For your lips, I think your regular lip balm will work just fine! The great thing about lippies like that is that they give a slight tint of color and a great sheen with little stickiness, which high-end lippies strive for! So stick with it!Makeup help!!!?
mineral foundation works best for me, it looks alot better and more natural than non mineral, also some lip gloss, and a little mascara..
some simple powder foundation or blush.
you could also use a mouse foundation or brush too.
MASCARA(:
i forgot the brand, but there's this little thing that looks like a golden crayon at walmart with the eyeshadows. it is a highlighting stick... get that and lightly put it on your eyelids with brown eyeliner and brown mascara... get a bronzer one shade darker than your skin tone and apply it directly on your cheek bones and wear your lip gloss
of course, you should wear foundation under it all, but since it is getting closer to summer, i would wear a powder foundation so it won't turn out cakey in the hot weather.
and duh wash and use moisturizer before you do anything to your face.
put some foundation on (clinique)
mascara (maybelline)
and perhaps eyeliner (oreal HIP)
this sounds like me! i have pale skin and dont like wearing loads of make up but my friends do. Just wear mascara, lipgloss and a little bit of bronzer on your cheekbones. natural but flawless!
If I were u I would buy some Ultimate Finish by Cover girl. I would also get some kind of mascara probably black or brown colored. If you don't want to make it very noticeable, you can get some eyeshadow that is a little darker color than your skin color it will bring out your eyes a little bit more. Also get some powder blush from revlon. Lipgloss is great. You can get clear or skin colored or if u wanna try something new, bright colors like red and pink and orange. Oh and before you put on makeup I usually put on moisturizer, otherwise sometimes the makeup may make your skin lookj really dry.
just wear liploss.
($4)buy a covergirl compact that matches best to your skin tone:

eyeliner.
and a light color lip gloss :]
you could wear yellow eyeshadow
i wear it all the time and it really brightens up my eyes
it sounds weird but it looks nice
i swear
Go as natural as possible. There are places in the mall (department stores) that sometimes can help teach you what is best. If you can't afford it, keep notes and find it for cheaper at a discount store or maybe on-line.
I usually only wear liquid eyeliner and I love it! It's ';Too Faced'; and you can put it in any eyeshadow to make any color eyeliner! You just close one eye and apply it to the eyelid right above the lashes. I hope I helped! I wish you luck!
It depends on how old you are. If you are in the 5th grade and under, just use lip gloss. No need for make-up at that age. If you are entering middle school or already in highschool, I suggest you wear some eyeliner and mascara. Just a little tiny bit of mascara because this girl at my school doesn't know how to put mascara on herself so she keeps doing layers and it looks really chunky and bad. She askes me EVERY, SINGLE, DAY, if her make-up looks good-before her boyfriend comes to greet her-and I say, ';Yea....you look fine.'; because I don't want to be mean. So don't wear alot of mascara because no one is going to tell you. Wear a clean layer of eyeliner from target, no need to get fancy. I use Covergirl and I love it. It is waterproof too. Make sure you know what your buying. After about a month and a half I throw all my make-up away and go buy new stuff because it could cause rashes and it's not good for your skin when it is old. Be sure to wash off all your make-up with make-up remover, before you go to bed or it could cause your eyelashes to fall out. (eww!) All I can say is: Beauty is pain, beauty is taking risks. But not if it is natural, like Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift.
i would say a sheer powder or mineral makeup it doesnt make you look like you have alot on...and a nude eyeshadow
and a little blush or brozer to top it off and mascara will bring out the eyes if you dont want to go dramatic use a dark brown and a little eyeliner.=]
just wear natural colored eyeshadow 2 match ur skin tone.....then wear just a little brown or black mascara......if u really want it 2 not be noticeable u could even get non colored mascara that just makes ur eyes stand out......
you could wear max factor faoundation just as a base which automatically adaps to your skin tone so looks completely natural, remember to rub it all in about the side of your face aswel.
or you could buy tinted face moisturiser, although i can not wear it beacsue it goes patchy you could try it on your hand first just to see.
and maybe a think layer of blusher to top of your look. make it bronser, give you move of a natural look combining with the faoundation, where-as pinky blusher gives a girly, harsher makeup effect.
i suggest you go into shops and ask for a makeup over, say you want it natural and see what they do pay attention you cant go wrong
hope this helped
:D
